The production company have not made any comments on why they have postponed the project. Rather, they have confirmed that the story is set around 1990s. The screenplay of Sherlock Holmes 3 is currently being written by Chris Brancato. However, the studio have not announced the director of the project yet. Most probably, they are planning to bring Guy Ritchie to director's chair and this might the cause of the delay.
